Freezing ready-made food, storing ready-made food in the refrigerator

[orange]

orange, here in the topic "Dried garlic arrows" I reported:

I dried the coarse parts of the arrows, and mixed the tender parts with creamy butter, laid them out in film and in curly molds. Yes, in the freezer ... beauty! And goodies!

Such a question - I used to freeze fresh cucumbers - I dried the cubes a little and freeze them in bulk in a bag, for the salad (I put them straight from the freezer) it was great (I took such prickly cucumbers to get stronger), I bought a vacuum cleaner - the same cubes are now vacuumed for a sample - someone else stored in a vacuum in a freezer?

The same cubes are now vacuuumooval for testing - has anyone stored them in a vacuum in a freezer?

I see no difference, store it simply in a bag or with a vacuum - everything is the same, the cucumbers are frozen in the freezer Only with a vacuum there is less air in the bag, and thus the volume of the bag decreases and takes up less space in the freezer.

Tanyusha, thank you very much for such a necessary topic. I was just driving and thought that I needed to ask the girls how to preserve food for a long time, and then, once, they already thought of everything for me. I am flying away at the beginning of October, but my spouse is sometimes on a flight or does not know how to cook. And so, took out, warmed up and ate. Thank you.

and the spouse is either on the flight or does not know how to cook.

Hello husband! Now he will be full and satisfied
Leave him a note when you need to be met with flowers, because you follow his nutrition and good mood, even from afar

Freeze the bouquet in advance. )))

Crown, :

Tatyana, thanks, as always, I'll keep the topic

Hello everyone! Great useful topic! I want to share my experience! My youngest is 5 years old, and so, he can often say I want fish soup or chicken soup! And if it gets confused, then this is a long story, while you cook the broth, etc. Therefore, when I buy fish or homemade chicken or meat, I immediately cook a large pot of broth, cut it and pour it into small zip bags from Ikea, literally 1-2 portions and freeze. They are like little books in the freezer. Therefore, as soon as the child asked, swing the ice into the pot, while you are peeling the potatoes or cooking something else, the broth has already melted, the fresh soup is ready in 20 minutes. I highly recommend it!

Please tell me, has anyone tried to freeze kobasa like salami-cervelat? The saleswoman in the store said that she does so without pltery in quality, it is interesting to know the experience of the accomplices whether someone has tried and what impressions.

[Olga **]

Olga **, I freeze. All OK. Smoked-boiled and raw-smoked / dried cured behave well. And sliced ​​and ice cream loaves. Cooked ones behave differently: liquid appears and the structure of the sausage stands out. It's easier to say why I don't freeze

[Story]

Story, Well, thank you!!! How do you make loaves? For example, I have a loaf of Finnish cervelat in a cloth-like packaging, just throw it in the freezer or wrap it in something better? Please advise. I also ice a lot, but more in terms of blanks, and now I got a budget sausage.

[Olga **]

Olga **, I also freeze almost all sausage and delicacy products, except for boiled sausages, they are really unpredictable. Everything else, including various hams / necks, etc., does not lose quality after defrosting. I just ate a sandwich with defrosted sausage.

[Olga]

Olga, I freeze sausages, hams, etc. in vacuum bags.Almost all casings, except for polyamide casings, allow air to pass through, as a result the sausage dries out.

[Cvetaal]

Cvetaal, thanks for the answer. Sorry, I don't have vacuum bags, so I need to figure out how to do without them.

[Olga]

Olga, then into freezer bags.

The loaf is quite large, probably several large plastic ones, for example, three and grabbed with rubber bands or in foil.

It's probably easier to wrap it in plastic.

[Cvetaal]

Cvetaal, and the film is used for freezing, is this normal? There is a film, I bought it recently to make boiled sausage. Is that enough?

[Olga **]

Olga **, I freeze everything in any bags or in cling film. Goodness should not be lost.

Is that enough?

Wrap in several layers, one may tear.

I wrap everything tightly with foil, does not let odors from the freezer through, it turns out like a vacuum package, and then it is better in zip bags. Better yet, vacuumize whole loaves of sausage and then freeze.
Fish is very well stored in the freezer, well wrapped in plastic, then in bags.
I often take fish from the Crimea, gut it, do not peel off the scales, wash it, very tightly in a film, then in bags and freeze it. I bring it in a fridge bag, then it is stored for at least a year, as usual.

[Story]

Story, thank you, I did it, so tomorrow I'll do it !!



Cvetaal, Yes of course!! Thank you very much, tomorrow I will start a big experiment!

If the loaf of sausage is very large, it can be cut into pieces in order to get a piece and eat it quickly. It seems to me that food deteriorates faster after a freezer. Although it may seem.
And sometimes I take more boiled sausage at good discounts with the expectation of cooking or frying, in this form it turns out very well.

[Duhka li]

Duhka li, the loaf is large, but it is packed well, it seems to me, it will be just worse to open and freeze in parts. But the opened in our family does not lie just. Let's check it, put both loaves - let's see what happens.

Cooked jelly.
Can I freeze? How to do it right?
We won't eat together, we won't invite guests ... it's a pity to throw it away.
Help advice

[OlgaGera]

OlgaGera, the jellied meat is successfully frozen, only there is one subtlety - then it will need to be boiled and cooled again, otherwise it will not taste good.

[Galina]

Jellied meat after defrosting is quite edible, but the taste is not the same. But there are those who do not feel the difference, and although I am not picky about food, thawed jellied meat is not tasty to me.
And if you just give someone a treat, at least neighbors?))



Galina, and even after boiling it tastes good to me

[Venera007]

then it will need to be boiled and cooled again

well yes. It's clear.

And if you just give someone a treat, at least neighbors?))

So they still need half a liter for the treat. Then you won't stop, and I have to bring a doctor for them. I’ll freeze her RAY.




Venera007, Crown,

After defrosting jellied meat, you can make a delicious soup!

Exactly!
The quickest and laziest option is to boil in a skillet and pour into a bowl of Deshirak noodles.

that's for sure!!

I give feedback. We thawed a loaf of Finnish cervelat. Great, no difference, you can buy in small wholesale if necessary. Thanks to everyone who helped with advice. The next step is dry-cured, in a vacuum.
